That's pretty much what I'm thinking, Celestia's probably using him for some ulterior motive of her own like she does with Twilight.

Well, there are likely a lot of enemies conspiring against Canterlot like the Changelings.

TV Tropes has this food for thought:

Here's a bit of meta-fridge brilliance. This episode was a very divisive one; some fans loved the idea of Discord being redeemed and others hated it, some fans felt the episode felt rushed, it has contradicted a lot of fanfics and fanworks, and a few have even declared Ruined Forever. In other words, by turning to the side of good Discord has created chaos. Discord, you Magnificent Bastard.

Another meta-fridge brilliant moment: Discord sees the ponies as nothing more than cheap playthings. But by the end of the episode, he's forced to admit that "Friendship is Magic." Now imagine all those people watching the show who started out thinking that My Little Pony was just a dumb show built around a line of girls' toys...

And I wouldn't say Discord's "reformed" so much as he's not aiming to control the world with chaos anymore.

Well, I just saw the Double Rainboom episode, and if I had to describe it in a few words, they would probably be "Meh. It was okay." One of the main things that really bugged me about this episode was that it lacked original humor. Most of the jokes were just references to related content/memes and fanservice (the appearance of Roid Rage and, of course, Derpy). For example, that machine that RD was locked to when Twilight was getting her readings looked very similar to the one that Bubbles from the PPG was locked to in "Bubblevicious" when he was kidnapped by Mojo.

Speaking of the Powerpuff Girls, I think the biggest highlight of the episode came around 20 minutes in when the monster just decided to go home after being lectured by RD only to be maimed by the PPG 10 seconds later. That actually got a big laugh out of me, if only because it nailed the contrast between the solutions of the two shows. I didn't think the PPG would hate the dog so much, but then again, considering what happened in "Shut the Pup Up," it actually makes sense.

Overall, I wouldn't say that this fan-made episode is too bad, but in the long run, I would sooner go back to watch "Snowdrop" than "Double Rainboom."

You know what, I'm going to leave a link to "Snowdrop" here. I think it came out in the same month.

Spoiler:

The big problem I had was the inclusion of the PPG to begin with. It seemed too random and fanficy.

With Queen Chrysalis, it leads to a good in-universe reason as to the whole "Princess" thing: Why do Celestia and Luna insist on using the title "princess"? Because most of their worst enemies are ruled over by kings and queens, who only ever enforce the﻿ above stereotype in their dealings with Equestria. That or this sort of thing is just different in Equestria.

Frankly, I don't know what to make of it, seeing as though I don't usually watch the show (or much TV for that matter...), but it was amusing to a degree in my spectrum perception.

It's a parody of a Disney show called Crash and Bernstein. MAD does these weird crossover parodies all of the time. They're also the biggest bronies on television (unless you count the writers of the actual show), they've done several other MLP sketches before, one of which was also a direct shout out to bronies.

If you saw the video in the link, you see what I'm saying, but if you haven't seen it or played the series, I'll explain it. Season 3 of FiM is kind of like Super Paper Mario in the sense that it is part of a famous series that has gotten a lot of notoriety and that, despite having the same charm and spark that made the series great to begin with, both SPM and FiM can be considered the weakest in their group and pale in comparison to their predecessors (The Thousand Year Door and the original game for the Paper Mario Series and Seasons 1 and 2 for the FiM series).

Even though many like season 3 despite the foibles they may have with it. I'd say it's less like Paper Mario's case and more like any other series with a fandom that disagrees about this or that.

You know, I just realized something about Cadence. I remember hearing before in one of DigibronyMLP's videos that when Faust was pitching ideas for the depiction of "Queen" Celestia, Hasbro wanted Celestia to be a pretty, pink Alicorn. I just realized that the invention of Cadence was Hasbro's desire coming to fruition.

That didn't stop them from making Celestia a pretty, pink alicorn in toy form.

Speaking of toys, for all people are saying that alicorn Twilight is a "merchandising gimmick", anyone else find it odd that there aren't any alicorn Twilight toys?

Any time someone doesn't like something, it becomes a cheap gimmick. It's always been hinted that Twilight would become a princess at some point. You could argue that the transformation was poorly executed, or that you simply don't like the idea. However, it has always been more than merchandising.

even if we don't understand each other, that's not a reason to reject each other. There are two sides to any argument. Is there one point of view that has all the answers? Give it some thought.

^ This is the reason why I like arguing. If I come off as standoffish or overly angry in an argument, don't worry. I'm probably having the time of my life. Whether I agree with them or not, the pokemon fandom has a lot of different opinions, and I love how nobody is afraid to share them.
